The tenants on the Zhuangzi are also the others, and the others who come to fetch water by the river.

Everyone couldn’t help but pinch themselves.

“Water… The watermill really stood up! ”

“When we sleep, what happened last night?”

“That watermill is much bigger than the one in the city, it’s so shocking!”

“……”

The onlookers were shocked and shocked, but after realizing that there was no danger, they ran over one by one happily.

A group of big men who started the water wheel jumped down one by one, and the water wheel substituted the river water into the ditch under the action of inertia.

A tenant farmer stood on the edge of the ditch, his mouth slightly open in surprise.

“This water flows from the channel to Zhuangzi.”

At this time, the other tenants suddenly woke up.

Oh mother, the water wheel is constantly flowing without manpower, and the watering water is constantly brought into the ditch.

Cycle after cycle~!

“Hahaha, with such an irrigation artifact, you won’t have to spend a lot of time carrying water every day in the future.”

“Magical and magical, sure enough, our highness is a ghost genius in the world!”

“Quyuan plows, farmland irrigation water wheels, in previous years we spent all our strength can not serve a few acres of land, the family has a tight life, now farming can be much easier.”

“I said, the water wheel is built, should we go back and tell the others the good news, anyway, if we don’t fetch water today, the water will also be sent to Zhuangzi by the ditch…”

When a group of tenants heard this, they immediately roared with excitement and ran to Zhuangzi with joy, with smiles on their faces full of joy.

Of course, there are also people who follow the progress of the water flow in the ditch, slow down and return to Zhuangzi at the same speed as the current.

A group of people were too excited to see the watermill and somewhat ignored the group not far from the waterwheel.

Among them, in addition to Li Yuanfang and many craftsmen, there was also Xiao Yu, who received the good news early in the morning and hurried here.

“With this watermill, the surrounding people can serve more arable land, which also means that the area around Chang’an will usher in a bumper harvest this year.” Xiao Yu said with great emotion.

“Well, tools are getting more and more convenient, and the less effort people make, the better the days will always be.” Li Yuanfang said with a smile: “Teacher, one day, the people of the Great Tang Dynasty will have enough food, do not need to save rations, and can eat meat as they like. ”

“Haha…”

The people around them can’t help but think that there is enough food at home, and they can eat meat as they want, even if they think about it, it is enough to make people laugh.

As more and more people learned the news, people rushed out of their homes to see the watermills on the banks of the river, to see the canals filled with water.

Where there were people, the discussion did not stop, and the children rang like silver bells one after another.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that everyone’s eyes are full of hope for the future, and the whole person looks vigorous.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xiao Yu asked softly.

“Your watermill has really become a scene in Chang’an.”

Li Yuanfang looked at the children playing in the water by the ditch in the distance, and analyzed with a light smile.

“This is the first water wheel, and it alone is not enough water to bring enough water to the entire cultivated land in the Chang’an region.”

“Next, Chang’an needs to build a second, a third… Countless water wheels. ”

“This is a really big project, so it needs the guidance of the imperial court, and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Works to work together.”

“And I… It is just the forerunner of farmland irrigation projects, how to transform and innovate, reasonable promotion has become your job. ”

Xiao Yu straightened his waist confidently, some things were things that he needed him, the Shangshu of Hubu, to handle.

In the end, in order to solve the problem of the dominance of the siege, Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, these days there will be many people to the farmland irrigation project, and then hurried back to the city.

Meanwhile……

On the same day, water poured into the next door Huangzhuang through a ditch.

The steward of the Huangzhuang was happy that the manpower was liberated, but also had to ask Li Yuanfang to sit on the Huangzhuang.

Why?

Of course, because of the special situation now.

A new batch of salt is secretly brewed in the imperial estate, and this batch of salt has begun to have a surplus in addition to being supplied to the imperial family’s reserves.

After a period of surplus, someone will be sent to sell the salt.

Li Yuanfang thought about it, anyway, the farmland irrigation project was already busy, so he refused to go next door to be a mascot.

Watching the bags of salt being transported into the warehouse, the steward of the Huangzhuang smiled so loudly that his mouth cracked.

“Be careful with your movements, the contents of the bag are as important as human life.”

“We understand.”

The disabled soldiers who were summoned back had happy smiles on their faces, and collectively felt exhaled and raised their eyebrows.

Who could have imagined.

They also have a day of making salt, selling salt, and the best salt available.

Thinking of the companions who died of illness due to lack of salt in the past, they all worked hard one by one, wanting to make a difference in the next salt counterattack, and they could take revenge on those wealthy families who stuck their resources.

Similarly, for Li Yuanfang, who gave them a new job and could extract edible salt from poisonous salt, every soldier who boiled salt in the imperial estate was in awe and very grateful.

Li Yuanfang was also full of smiles.

“Boiling salt is a very hard job, these people have to keep up with food and welfare, don’t let today’s gratitude turn into resentment, and you become the scourge of enslaved veterans.”

“His Royal Highness King Zhou said this is a little serious.” The head of the Huangzhuang frowned slightly, and said without anger.

“The face of the imperial brother represented by Huangzhuang, once someone with a heart specially magnifies the small mistake here…” Li Yuanfang nodded, and the rest of the words were left to be made up by Huangzhuang’s Zhuang mind.

The head of the imperial estate thought about it, the Son of Heaven was angry and blood flowed, and the consequences of the stigmatization of the imperial family were not something he could afford.

Instead of waiting for the day of the accident, it is better to treat the people working on the imperial estate well and directly eliminate the possibility of things happening.

At this thought, the head of the imperial village asked for advice.

“What is the explanation for welfare?”

Li Yuanfang smiled lightly and explained nonchalantly

“For example: two clothes a year, sick can be reimbursed and the like, in short, add a sense of belonging to the people below, you can figure it out yourself, in short, don’t wait until something goes wrong to remedy it.”

The head of the Huangzhuang nodded, and he decided to learn from the one next door, sending people not only to raise pigs, but also to raise some chickens, ducks, and geese.

This year, eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs are not affordable for every household, and chicken, duck, and goose meat are less, but both are good rewards.

If the people on the royal estate work efficiently, then he is not unable to apply for the slaughter of a porpoise, so that the big guys can share the meat as a reward.

All in all, Li Yuanfang was very leisurely outside the city, but the household was tightly blocked by a group of families who needed farmland irrigation projects.
